Texas Medical Board Sets Hearings for Two More Abortionists

The Texas Medical Board has set new hearing dates for two abortionists related to complaints filed by Operation Rescue as a result of an undercover investigation conducted earlier this year.

Franz Theard and Douglas Karpen have both been scheduled for hearings on May 16, 2012. Theard is accused of coaching minor girls to cross state lines to avoid Texas parental notification laws and with illegally disposing of aborted remains. Karpen, whom OR reports has a history of abortion abuses dating back over 20 years, is accused of violating the state’s informed consent laws.

Operation Rescue says it has also been notified that the case against abortionist H. Brook Randal remains active, but has not yet been set for hearing.
